Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM)Experimental750 mg of iron as undiluted FCM (15 mg/kg up to a maximum of 750 mg) at 100 mg per minute weekly until the calculated iron deficit dose has been administered (to a maximum cumulative dose of 2,250 mg).

Standard Medical Care (SMC) for the treatment of IDAActive comparatorSMC as determined by the Investigator for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety, as Defined by the Occurence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE's), of FCM Compared to SMC

    Safety, as defined by the occurence of serious adverse events (SAE's), of FCM compared to SMC in the treatment of IDA in subjects who were not dialysis dependent

    Measured: First administration of FCM, or Day 0 for SMC subjects, through end of study (Day 42) or 28 days after the last dose of study drug (FCM or SMC) whichever was longer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) and Standard Medical Care (SMC) for the treatment of IDA in people with Anemia, run by American Regent, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Nov 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety, as Defined by the Occurence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE's), of FCM Compared to SMC (time frame: First administration of FCM, or Day 0 for SMC subjects, through end of study (Day 42) or 28 days after the last dose of study drug (FCM or SMC) whichever was longer). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2018.
